since it seems powerpc boot-floppies 3.0.7 were never built i have uploaded a cvs snapshot build for powermac only (sorry uploading 33MB over dialup is not my idea of ammusing). its available at: http://penguinppc.org/~eb/debian/powerpc/bf-cvs-snapshot-2001.07.07/ this is pretty much the same as the 3.0.7 release, it does have my addition for support to install base via floppies, you can find base floppy images for powerpc, i386, sparc, and m68k in ~eb/debian/$arch, along with basedebs.tgz files which are not yet directly supported by dbootstrap (debootstrap will accept them fine). if you want to test, but require basedebs.tgz support you can fake it pretty easily: when you get to the `install base system' step switch to VC2 and do the following: cd /usr/sbin mv debootstrap debootstrap.real cat <<EOF #!/bin/sh exec debootstrap.real --boot-floppies --arch powerpc --unpack-tarball \ /target/basedebs.tgz woody /target null: EOF chmod 755 debootstrap then switch back to VC1 and select `Install Base System' tell it to install via the network with default/fake/bogus network settings (since they will be ignored by our wrapper). it will run the wrapper which calls debootstrap with the args we want, dbootstrap will be none the wiser and configures the base correctly after debootstrap exits. substitute /target/basedebs.tgz with whatever the path is to the basedebs.tgz tarball. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
